Posted by Kate Alvarez as Dancing with the Stars, Nicole Scherzinger at 11:00 AM UTC on Mar, 04 2010

Dancing With The Stars Season 10 has finally announced the 11 celebrities who will vie for the big trophy. Drum roll, please!

The names are: actor Alden Turner, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, footballer Chad Ochocinco, sportscaster Erin Andrews, figure skater Ivan Lysacek, reality star Jake Pavelka, reality star Kate Gosselin, performer Nicole Scherzinger, TV host Niecy Nash, actress Pamela Anderson, and actress Shannen Doherty.

My money’s on Nicole Scherzinger. I don’t even know why she’s part of the roster. She’s been a professional dancer and performer for years. Doesn’t that make her overqualified? Hey, at least I can win some money by betting early.

Two Less Pussycats

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Nicole Scherzinger, Pussycat Dolls at 11:00 AM UTC on Mar, 02 2010

Two members of the Pussycat Dolls have left the group and nobody in the entire universe is surprised.

Every the since the girls went from burlesque group to pop franchise in 2003, it was all about Nicole Scherzinger. I love the gal; she’s hot, but I feel sorry for the other girls who served as mere backup dancers and backup vocals. Can you even name the remaining four members other than Nicole? I didn’t think so.

We’ve seen PCD members come and go through the years, and we all know how Ms. Nicole gets preferential treatment, and, not to mention, a heftier paycheck compared to the other dolls.

Now, two of the Pussycat Dolls have had enough. Kim Wyatt and Ashley Roberts have announced that they’re quitting the group. Ashley wrote on her blog: “Yes I have left the Pussycat Dolls. I am so grateful to have the love and support of all of you. It was an amazing ride and I learned so much.”

As for Kim, she told Loaded magazine: “I’ve left the group. I am so thankful for everything the Pussycat Dolls has brought into my life. But I have to say there were just too many variables that I couldn’t agree with. So I decided to push on with my own life.”

Of course they’re trying to act as professional as possible, but we all know the rifts that go on off-stage. Kim said it best: “I wish that it was different because I love what we do on stage. I love being a Doll, but as far as the variables off-stage are concerned, I just couldn’t do it anymore.”

The group is reportedly reforming sometime this year, but I believe it’s going to be the same story: Nicole in front; four cats at the background. Meow.

From Pussycat Doll to Model

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Lewis Hamilton, Nicole Scherzinger at 10:00 AM UTC on Feb, 03 2010

Now that she’s single again, Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger can focus on her new stint. Some say it’s never too late to get into modeling, so the 31-year-old has just signed a contract with modeling agency Wilhelmina.

She isn’t the first celebrity to be signed by the upscale modeling agency. The likes of Fergie, Zoe Saldana, Terrell Owens, and Alexandra Richards have been working with the agency for years.

Nicole recently split from her boyfriend of two years Lewis Hamilton, a British racecar driver. According to the press release: “Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton can confirm that they have decided to go their separate ways. The two of them have decided to focus fully on their careers and will remain close friends.”

Have the Pussycat Dolls Finally Split?

Posted by Kate Alvarez as Nicole Scherzinger, Pussycat Dolls at 2:07 PM UTC on Nov, 26 2009

Itâ€™s a rumor that pesters bands and music groups throughout their careers. For the Pussycat Dolls, we hear about it every month or so. After all, a split seems inevitable.

Does anybody know the full names of the dolls other than front woman Nicole Scherzinger? Nope, I didnâ€™t think so. When listening to PCD songs or watching their music videos, do you hear any voice or see any face that stands out other than Nicoleâ€™s? My thoughts exactly.

The remaining five members of PCD: (L-R) Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta, Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, and Ashley Roberts

According to Page Six of the New York Post, the five girls are no longer in speaking terms with each other. One of the members, Kimberly Wyatt, revealed that she hasnâ€™t heard from Nicole in months. While there are talks that the group has broken up for good, PCDâ€™s label Interscope insists that they are just â€œon a break.â€ They didnâ€™t exactly clarify anything.

This isnâ€™t the first problem that the girls have gotten into. In 2007, the group launched Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll to look for the seventh member of PCD. Winner Asia Nitollano decided to pursue a solo career instead of joining the dolls. In 2008, original PCD member Carmit Bachar left the group to pursue her own path. Then for the past few years, tension among members have continued as the limelight focuses on Nicole.

Almost famous: Asia Nitollano won the reality show Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll in 2007, but rejected the prize to join PCD. Has her solo career taken off? Asia who?
